Staff Research Associate II

Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry
University of California, San Francisco
Full Time
Job# 59475BR

Job Summary

Under the general direction of the director of the Mass Spectrometry Facility (MSF) and as a member of a collaborative research team of MSF scientists, the Staff Research Associate II (SRA II), will participate in a variety of on-going research activities using mass spectrometry and proteomics for gaining new protein-level knowledge for a wide range of biological investigations, including for example in neuroscience, cancer biology etc.

Under guidance of supervisor, the SRA II will support a number of local, national and international collaborative research projects involving the discovery of new proteins using a number of methods based on affinity methods for sample isolations, chromatography for separation of complex mixtures and mass spectrometry-based peptide sequence analyses for identification of both knowns and unknowns.

The successful candidate’s responsibilities will include sample preparation for mass spectrometric analyses of biological samples generated from different collaborative projects. This involves performing and optimizing protocols for enzymatic digestion and posttranslational modification class (PTM) enrichments, analyzing samples by advanced mass spectrometric methodologies and the interpretation (qualitative and quantitatively) of the experimental mass spectral data obtained, and preparing reports summarizing results for review and manuscript preparation.

These tasks will require particular emphasis on use of customized software tools for processing and analysis of mass spectrometry datasets, e.g. from isotopically labelled samples, in the assignment of post translational modifications of proteins, etc., using tools in Protein Prospector and Skyline for example.
